If your proven experience of caring for older people includes leading shifts, and you're looking for a rewarding role that comes with excellent training and great opportunities for personal development, join Care UK as a Senior Care Assistant and make a real difference.

Being a Senior Care Assistant at Care UK:
Senior Care Assistants at Care UK are already used to caring for others.

They're passionate about what they do, flexible in their approach and great at building a rapport with everyone they deal with.

They inspire professionalism. They cope with difficult situations using tact and diplomacy and take responsibility for resolving them. They enjoy collaborating with others and sharing information and ideas. They raise standards through innovation. And, they consider it a privilege to be trusted to look after others. Do you have the same sort of attributes? Then we could have just the role for you.

What you'll be doing:

Being a Senior Care Assistant isn't just about providing leadership and support for a care team. It's about acting as a role model for good practice and a champion for residents' dignity and safety. It's about regularly assessing, monitoring and reviewing day-to-day processes and coming up with improvements where required.

And, it's about ensuring that clear and accurate records and communication systems relating to clinical and care delivery are properly maintained and effectively used.

Put simply, it's about making a difference. A real difference.

What you'll need:

An NVQ and relevant experience is essential, including a good understanding of care planning processes and a proven ability to write concise care plans.

We'll also be looking for individuals who are well-organised, with excellent supervisory skills and used to planning, allocating and delegating work appropriately.

What's more, you have experience of contributing to, monitoring and implementing changes that improve outcomes for residents.

Above all, you have a natural ability to help make the lives of others more fulfilling and want to work in an environment where the work can be hard, but also fun and rewarding.

Hadrian House in Gateshead is a warm and welcoming care home.
In fact, residents and their families often compare us to a hotel (just take a look at our testimonials)

We offer cosy and inviting lounges, beautifully furnished ensuite bedrooms, delicious meals and plenty of fun activities, and underpinning it all is our commitment to superb care.

At Hadrian House we provide a wide range of care for older people, from short respite stays to give family carers some well-deserved time off, through to full time residential care.

When you set foot inside Hadrian House we think you'll be surprised by the happy atmosphere here. As soon as we know a person will be joining us, we start getting to know them.

This goes beyond their physical needs, to their personality, what they like to do, where they used to live, their hobbies and interests.

Then we set about creating a care plan that's unique to them.

We plan activities around their interests. We create menus to include the dishes they enjoy.

And if someone wants to get involved in helping out around the home, then they're more than welcome to help us to water plants, do some recycling or lay the table for dinner.

It all adds up to an environment where residents feel involved, cared for - and happy.
